TIMOTHY FRANKLIN PHARO, 03F- TUCKEBTON, NEW JERSEY.

WATEIE A G To alien/tom, it may concern:

Be it known that I, TIMOTHY FRANKLIN Pnano, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Tuckerton; in the county of Dcean and State of'New Jersey, have invented a newand Improved Water-Agita-. tor, of which 'the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

This invention relates to Water agitator, and is particularly.adapted to agitate the Water in the manufacture of artificial ice. in the manufacture of ic'e, it has been found desirable to agitatethe Water in order to form a' clear transparent ice without air bubbles. r i

An object of my invention is to provide an economical means for agitating the Water at in any way interfering with the ophe ice plant.

* object of my inventionis to itator which may readily be proviu; an disconnected- L v ii'oln the ice andmay be swung out of the. vifay, so as not to interfere With I attain the, above indicated objects by. disposing the outlet of a single-acting pump just below the surface of the Water, and provide means for actuating said pump Whereby Water is drawn thereinto and then forced to the bottom of the Water, This pump is so disposedrelative to the framework, that it may be raised out of the way, so as not to interfere with the removal of the refrigeratin'g cans. v

With the above and other objects v in View, as will more fully hereinafter appear, the present invention consists in certain novel details of construction and arrangement of parts hereinafter fully described, illu's rated particularly pointed out in the appended claims.

Reference is to he had to the accompany cation, in which similarcha iiecters of reiicn once indicate correspondmg'parts n all the .l igure 1 is a plan View of a freezing can. with the agitator in position; Fig; 2 is transverse sectional View taken on the line 2-2'of Fig. 1 and loolrin in the direction of the arrow; Fig. is a p on viewlshowing, a battery of freezing cans and showing the,

As shown more particularly in Fig. 3, I have provided a battery 6 of freezing cans I, each of whichQcans-is disposed within the framework 8 and individually adapted to be removed therefrom.- Beyond one end of the battery 6 and extending transversely thereof, is a reciprocating bar 9, pivotally alfixed to the opposite ends of which are guide bars 10. The reciprocating bar 9 is connected by means of connecting: rods 11 to the cranks ll of a power shaft 12,- which power shaft is actuated by,a belt"13 passing over a pulley l l: on the power shaft; Eli idly altixed to the bar 9 and extending lengthwise along the battery of cans one to I each line of cans, a series of reciprocating rods 15. While the agitator will-he de scribed .withreferenceto but one of these power rods; Fig. 5 is a transverse sectional cans, it is to be understood that this arrange ment is duplicated for each can in the hat- The reciprocating rods 15 extend through the framework 8 and are disposed between one side 16 of the can 7 and the adjacent Adjacent one end". of the can, there is mounted upon the rod 5 15, a pair of spaced apart sleeves l'i,""'tl ie outer cnds oi which are beveled, shown at 18. Adapted'to engage the rod 1511c tween, thc'sleevesl'l, is afhooii'. 19 on the end of a broad'connect-ingl; arm 20, which no -'arm is pivoted opposite the hook onoz to one end of a piston rod Ql the other end of which has mounted -.thereon a p" ton. E22 slidably mounted in a cylinder 25 which cylinder constitutes one ic of a hhshaped nine 24 the crotch 25 oi: which nun is p l l l. .P

fastened by means of staples 26 to a bracket 2?, having reduced ends 28 adapted idly; to

l lily means of. sible to disco the reciproc by mean I A 'Y pump Y rod 15; 'li he pump may then be withdrawn bodily froth the supports 29; The leg 3:2 of

the i l-shaped.puinpiize 'extends to the center of the can? and has zrtur'neoi down elbow 11o 33, into the lower end of which is threaded a tube 34, the outlet ofwhich is reduced bymeans of a nozzle Within the cylinder 23 and adjacent the drotch 25, is'an air cock 36, hy means. of which air may be admitted to the pump.

In the operation of the device, the cans 'i' are filled with water to a point adjacent the top, as shown i1 Fig. ,2, and the pump is lowered into posit'on with the nozzle 35 disposed just below tnek surface of the waloter. Then by throwing the arm into engageinent with the reciprocating rod 15, the

, bles, and it has been found that the forcing of the water to the bottom facilitates the rapidity with which the. can of water is frozen.

While a preferred embodimentof the invention has been described, it is to be understood that many changes could be made in the above construction and many apparently widely different embodiments'o-f this invention could be made without departing from the scope thereof. It is intended that all matters containedherein inthe above description or shown in the accompanying drawings, shall be interpreted as illustrative *andnot in a limiting sense; i It is also to be understood that the language usedinthe following claims is intended to cover the/full scope of the invention, and is'not to be given any narroit'r construction than" the prior;

art demands, andthat materials, sizes and .relativities of parts are non-essential, except as called for in the claims.-

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent 1. In a water agitator, a pump having a nozzle disposed below the surface of the water, an arm pivoted to the piston rod of said pump, and a reciprocating rod, said r'eciprocating rod having spaced-apart, sleeves rigidly mounted thereon, said. arm adapted to be removably positioned between said sleeves, said sleeves'having outer inclined surfaces whereby said arm may ride up one positioned between said sleeves.

.of said inclined surfaces to ,be automatically 2. In a water agitator, a pump adapted to agitate the water by drawing the same into said pump and ejecting the water below the surface thereof, and an air cock in said pump adapted to admit or exhaust the air in said pump, thereby to regulate the firce of the'ejec-tion of said water.

3. In a water agitator, a U-shaped pump body having a depending nozzle extending from one arm thereof, a reciprocating piston located in the other arm, a reciprocating rod parallel to said latter arm, and-means for rereciprocating rod. n ln'jestimony whereof I'have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
